Rotary encoder shaft clamp
11692856 · 2023-07-04 · ·

An encoder includes a rotatable encoder disc. A clamp is fixed to the encoder disc to rotate therewith. The clamp includes an arcuately extending body presenting a radially inner face and arcuately spaced apart ends defining a gap therebetween. The inner face extends along a clamping path and engages a rotating component to secure the clamp to the rotating component to rotate therewith. The clamp includes an adjustment mechanism for modifying an arcuate extent of the gap by shifting the ends relative to one another and, in turn, modifying the clamping path. The body defines a radially extending cutout facilitating bending of the body in association with expansion or contraction of the gap and modification of the clamping path. The clamp includes a raised boss extending from a front face thereof. The boss presents a contact face spaced axially from the front face and fixedly engaging the encoder disc.

PROTECTOR WITH SENSOR AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

A first end of an insert fills up a space of a hollow part of a protector, and a second end includes an insulator to insulate a first wire connection part where a first leg of a resistor is piled on a first core wire from a second wire connection part where a second leg of the resistor is piled on a second core wire. Die-molding material covers the insulator, the first and second core wires, the resistor, the first and second legs, and the first and second wire connection parts. The insulator has a tabular shape, and the insulator has left and right side ends exposed from a part covered with the die-molding material. The insert includes a second protrusion on a connection part between the first and second ends of the insert. The second protrusion is closer to an inner side part than an inner surface of the insulator.
